USB drive partition not mounting @ connection

[stevef]

Linux does support NTFS and Linux Lite should auto mount an NTFS partition if set to do so, but may not if it detects a problem.
Linux Lite 7 seems to be more 'picky' than LL6

To check what is happening on your system
Do a fresh boot.
Once everything has settled down, note the time (HH:MM) on the system clock.

Insert the dual partition USB and allow time for any auto mounting to complete.
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl Alt and T together.

In the window that opens type in the following command followed by return.

Code:

journalctl -b | grep ntfs

This command will show just the ntfs events for this boot and may show the problem.
Post back with the results.

For context, this command will show everything logging since HH:MM
Replace HH:MM with your value.

Code:

journalctl -b --since HH:MM
